If you operate your own lawn care business, you’ve already realized that cutting grass is only part of your work day. Paperwork and administrative duties are constant chores for any lawn care business owner and the Mother of all paperwork days is upon us. If you are like many lawn care business owners, you are probably sweating the deadline of tax day.

“Do I have to depreciate this weedeater?”

“What’s the allowable deduction for milage on my work truck?”

“Where’s my receipt for those lawn mower blades I bought last spring?”

Tax questions are endless. If you are trying to do your taxes yourself and you’re up against the clock you might still be able to get your business taxes finished before midnight.

If you haven’t complete your lawn care business taxes yet, time is ticking away.

It’s not fun to think about but taxes are a necessity and the completion date is Thursday April 15, 2010. I am writing this blog posting today because you still have time to collect all your receipts, organize your expenses and revenue, and take the whole mess to your accountant. If you prefer to do your taxes yourself, you still have time to order tax software and spend this upcoming weekend completing your tax forms.

There is lots of free professional advice available online and through your local IRS office. We’re not CPA’s so we can’t offer professional advice but we can show you some of the software products we have used in the past. Maybe they will be helpful to you. I’ll post those links below.

Also, don’t forget, if you buy our Lawn Care Business guidebook and software package for your lawn care business, you might be able to deduct the amount of your purchase. Check with your accountant to make sure.

Lawn Care Business taxes make Springtime bittersweet.

Feb 25

Posted by Lawn Care Business in Lawn Care Business Taxes | No Comments

As April approaches, mixed emotions fill the minds of many lawn care business owners.

On one hand, the weather warms and grass sprouts in all your customer’s lawns.  Your phone rings with new customers requesting your services and old customers want spring cleanup jobs performed on their lawns.  Nurseries receive their first deliveries of the season and your world is full of color.

On the other hand, April 15 approaches and you hear rumblings from your CPA how much you will have to pay on the dreaded day.

Anyone who has read our Lawn Care Business program for start-up and newer lawn care businesses knows that we believe the services of a CPA are properly recommended for all business people.  A competent CPA will keep you on the right path with proper filing proceedures for your business.

However, we also know that that money (and time) are tight in the world of a lawn care business owner.  Time slips away and sometimes the upfront fees requested by CPAs are too much when money is tight.  Before you know it, April 15 is a few days away, all CPAs are busy with their clients, and you don’t have any money to pay for their services anyway.

If you find yourself in the above situation, Lawn Care Business Tax Software may well be the next best step for you to take in completing your tax filing in a timely, convienient, and cost effective manner.

The link below takes you to an Amazon.com page where you can download the latest tax software directly to your computer.  In many instances you can complete your taxes and electronically file your paperwork in one session at your computer.
